If all media is liberal, how do you account for conservative talk shows dominating all local AM stations?

I know one-liners and ';gotcha'; garbage will be easy to come up with in repsonse to this, but PLEASE think before you type. I really care about your facts and informed opinion/don't really care about your unfulfilled craving to be a comedian.If all media is liberal, how do you account for conservative talk shows dominating all local AM stations?
Conservatives spend a lot of time in their cars...





sleeping, eating, washing up for work, etc.If all media is liberal, how do you account for conservative talk shows dominating all local AM stations?
I haven't heard anyone say media is ALL liberal. You have to admit that 98% of it is. I think conservatives are down to the PBS channel (which is kept alive by private donations I think) and like you said, AM talk radio.


Conservatives have to have a venue to have their voice heard, and AM radio (almost everyone listens to FM) is the way they do it.





Liberals on the other hand, don't really have to seek anything, because liberalism rules our society-television shows, music, news, the way we behave, etc. If society was mostly conservative, liberals would also have to find a way to come together and discuss the issues they were concerned with.





I understand that some people out there in government want to shut down conservative radio because it is so powerful in reaching conservatives. Some in government want to implement a watchdog group that would regulate what conservatives say on the radio, and force them to give equal time to liberals on their radio show. If they were to do that for tv, not many people would watch during conservative programing.
When they speak of the Liberal media they are addressing the print media as well as the major networks, not the local AM or even FM stations.





The media has always been the major newspapers and networks, no one ever considered any radio stations as being part of the real media, or any thing else





It wasn't only until the past five years or so that ';talk radio'; has become popular. And today some radio shows have millions of listeners, more so than some of the major network news shows. They appear to be growing in popularity specially those that are considered conservative.





A about five years ago, the Democrats tried to have their own set of AM/FM stations compete, but many of the become very unpopular and listeners started to drop off.





Congress is currently trying to bring Liberal stations back by passing the Fairness Doctrine that will mandate all political shows to give both Liberal %26amp; Conservative views, but do to the failure of Liberal talk radio, many sponser refuse to back such shows.





At the present time it is very difficult for Liberal media to obtain corporate sponsers for their shows, whether they be on television or radio, this is why only public television carries Liberal proponents, since the conservatives have their radio carriers





Many people are pulling away from the major print media which is evidenced by their declining circulation.


Most of the major television news shows have also posted a decline in viewers.





I think what frustrates the American public, whether they be Democrat or Republican, is the news media, especially print and television, is not reporting the news but to help make news by injecting their personal opinions and beliefs.
The fact remains that the majority of the owners and CEO's of media outlets are liberal. Research the owners and CEO's and you will see what I'm saying.


The majority of actors in Hollywood are liberals as well. Many of the actors that have come out as conservative have been black balled and have a hard time finding work.


Only in the last 5 years has CNN come out with a host that is somewhat to the right. Glenn Beck isn't even a republican though. He's more of a centrist.
The liberal media is just another one of the one liners that has been successful for the right. They dominate the airways, Ruburt Murdox has his Fox News and Fox News Radio which are leaning extremely right wing, along with New York Post, Washington Times, just to mention a few of his many newspaper and not to mention his cable stations thought the world. To buy into any of the Neo-Con propaganda you would have to believe that all news organizations including TV, airways and print media are all wrong except FOX. That's a far stretch from reality.
More people listen to them. Hannity, Rush, Boortz, etc are very popular since they have a format of listening to both sides, although admittedly conservatives





NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, PBS, CNN and several others are quite liberal. They are doing everything except chanting Obama's name. Look at Olberman....he never has anyone on unless they share his exact same views.





Boring! Get some cross action going on, having people on the show who think just like you means the show only needs one of you! ~ Boortz





When Obama uses race to sell, he should be called out for it.
If you paid attention, the term used is ';main stream media'; and the talk shows are not considered to be ';main stream media.';





The one venue remaining for conservatives to express their view (talk radio) will be silenced by the Democrats through the imposition of the ';fairness doctrine'; if they have their way. And they accuse of Republicans of stifling free speech!!!
Oh, I know just what they're going to say--it's their weapon against the ';liberal'; press. Apparently reporting the truth and quoting GW Bush accurately is considered liberal.


Doesn't anyone remember how the ';liberal'; press harped on the Monica Lewinsky thing? Meanwhile, Newt Gingrich was having an extra-marital affair at the same time he was trying to hound Clinton out of office. When that came out, it got barely any coverage.


The ';liberal'; press is a myth perpetrated by the right in an effort to deny the truth.
You see, when we say media we mean film and TV. Radio is the only place Conservatives get to have the dominance Liberals get on TV. I do think CNN and Fox are fair. But CNN has some stupid spins put on their reporting. For example: guy takes hostages and threatens to kill them. He gets sniped and the cops are the bad guys.
Because all the Media has been conservative over the past 35 years. Only a few real Media outlets are left that report down the middle. The only media that is to the left is Air America.
conservative talk shows do well, because they exist without gov't. aid. They are commercially successful. Liberal shows fizzle and lose money, because the audience aint buying.
All media isn't liberal. That's why there's a distinction. If all media were liberal, people wouldn't refer to ';the liberal media.'; They would just say ';the media.';
There must be a lot of people who agree with the talk show host or they at least find it entertaining because the liberals have tried to do the same thing and the shows never got off the ground.
No one ever said all media was other than you. Libs do control the main stream including ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, Air America and many others including most American Universities..........
That's the only thing we have -- talk radio. Pales in comparison to television, newspapers, the education system ect.
FOX5 is fair.......FOX5 is fair.........FOX5 is fair....... nope, it's still BS.
These shows and FOX are the only conservative forms of media.
That's all the conservative have and the liberals are trying to shut that down with their ';fairness doctrine';.
the liberal shows all failed, just not interesting,
I don't know. I guess intelligent people listen to the radio.
i personally don't listen to talk shows but i do read about them on the net. the mainstream media has been in the process of being bought out throught the organizations of George Soros and his associates. it has become so bias that most people now realize that the must go to talk shows and internet bloggers, credible ones, to even see most of the news that Soros doesn't want seen or it is give a spin to think that anyone who would find it credible is just crazy.





Moveon.org is mostly back by Soros and it generates a lot of stuff that relies on spin, half-truths or downright lies. Soros has his own agenda for America and he is using the media, the democratic party and Obama to acheive his goal.





';According to the FEC, ACT used tens of millions of dollars of unregulated cash to boost Democratic candidates during the 2004 elections. The Politico reports that, according to the FEC, ACT raised $137 million for its get-out-the-vote effort in 17 states in the 2004 elections, but the FEC found most of that cash came through contributions that violated federal limits or were otherwise barred by campaign rules.


FEC Slaps Soros Group for Campaign Finance Abuses; Will Media Care? Soros happily paid a $775,000 fine as a routine cost of business in order to get away with spending $137 million in illegally raised dollars on partisan campaign activities in the future. This joke of a fine won't do diddly to stop the liberals from breaking the law again in the 2008 election cycle. In fact, the tiny size of the fine relative to the crime may encourage them to increase their breaking of campaign finance laws. this is the real reason Obama rejected public financing..it was not a coincidence.





you probably won't see that story on the evening news either. since soros owms much of the media it wasn't considered a big deal.

another story that you won't hear except from the internet..';Soros Funded Bogus Iraqi Body Count Report.';


http://www.libertypundit.com/2008/01/14/鈥?/a>





why do you think the dems are trying to bring back 'the fairness doctrine'..it is so they can shut up the talk shows and those who oppose them...we may soon find our first amendment under attack like the second one has been.





do you own investigation and see where the money leads you and do your own math.





btw: soros is almost single handedly keeping Air America afloat.
The idea that all media is liberal is just something that extreme conservatives and neo-cons came up with because a lot of the mainstream media is smart enough to know that the neo-con agenda is pure evil.
Its amatter of money for advertizing. All that yelling and screaming right-wing blather gets people to listen and call in. I seriously doubt that AM radio makes one whit of a difference in elections. Not to thinking people.
